In this one time class, students will be learning how to make cake balls, which are also known as cake truffles! There is a vegan option for those who are interested with many ingredients you likely already have! It is similar to the original recipe, except a few ingredients must be switched. For example, using a dairy free milk such as almond milk. Younger students are welcome to join with the help of an adult off camera, most to help with measuring, which is a necessary skill for this class. The teacher will go through the process with students of making the cake balls. The cake balls must go into the freezer for a period of time before adding the chocolate coating, so the teacher will have some ready to demonstrate to the class how to add the chocolate coating so that they can later do it themselves! There will be instructions posted after class, and the video recording will be shared as a reference if students need it when dipping the cake balls into the chocolate.

Parental Guidance
The chocolate has to be heated and will be a bit hot. Allergy wise, there are dairy products used, but these could be switched with the vegan alternatives, which will be provided in the classroom welcome message. Please reach out with any specific concerns.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Illinois Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello!
I am an certified educator with a diverse background working with students of all ages and ability levels in various settings. These settings include day cares, public schools, college, specialized schools, and in homes. I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects such as the following: social courses, English, art, science, and life skills. I believe that every student is capable of learning in their own way. I am happy to adapt my courses for the needs of my students. I knew I wanted to be a teacher as a first grade student. Teaching and working with children is something that I have always been passionate about and incorporate into my life. When I was in school, English and art were always my favorite subjects. I enjoyed writing and helping my peers with their writing. Language is a part of our everyday lives, so it is a vital skill to work on throughout our lives.
Currently, I am a special education preschool teacher, and prior to that, a fourth grade teacher at a public school in the US. I am a first generation college student with both an associate's degree and a bachelor's degree. I am certified in both Florida and Illinois to teach students birth through age 22 for special education and birth through grade 6 general education. Additionally, I’m certified to be a reading teacher in Illinois.
I love doing art! I enjoy projects of all kinds and trying out new methods of painting. I paint when I am stressed, happy, or really just because! I also adore animals. I have a cat named Dexter (Dex for short). Dexter is quite smart, social, and playful. He loves to play fetch. I also have a class pet, Nugget, who is a leopard gecko. He loves to see what we are up to! My favorite volunteer position has been a NICU Cuddler! I held infants in a hospital that were born premature or with a medical condition that requires them to be there for awhile.Reviews
